It is only independence for some. It is still oppression for some. The country would have been economically and politically in a better position had there been no independence eg. Hongkong. Most educated poeple are migrating out of the country – because they do not believe in independence. Nothing has been acheived, in fact the country has degenerated by the way it is ruled.
